Sosiologi Agama dan Profesi Kebidanan: Kajian Komparatif Tentang Legitimasi Religius dan Kohesi Sosial
Keywords:
Sosiologi Agama, Profesi Kebidanan, Legitimasi Religius, Kohesi Sosial, Teologi KomparatifAbstract
Hubungan antara ajaran agama, pembentukan masyarakat, dan peran kebidanan sebagai profesi belum cukup dieksplorasi melalui pendekatan multidisipliner. Penelitian ini menggunakan kajian literatur sistematis yang menggabungkan teologi komparatif, sosiologi agama, dan sosiologi profesi untuk menganalisis bagaimana berbagai tradisi agama mengonseptualisasikan pembentukan masyarakat dan legitimasi religius apa yang mereka berikan kepada praktik kebidanan. Analisis tematik mengidentifikasi tiga tema konvergen lintas tradisi: asal-usul ilahi komunitas manusia, keluarga sebagai unit sosial fondasi, dan tanggung jawab moral kolektif sebagai basis kohesi sosial. Perbedaan ditemukan pada struktur hierarkis dan konsep otoritas keagamaan. Kebidanan terbukti memiliki legitimasi religius yang kuat di semua tradisi yang dikaji, berfungsi sekaligus sebagai profesi teknis dan panggilan sakral. Kajian ini menyumbangkan kerangka konseptual komparatif yang menghubungkan legitimasi religius, identitas profesional, dan kohesi sosial dalam kebidanan.
